  • Factors associated with school teachers' attitudes toward HIV prevention education in Lusaka, Zambia

    Creator:
    Henning, Margaret Jo
    Abstract:
    In Zambia, there are approximately 920,000 people living with HIV/AIDS. Children are often referred to as a "window of hope" due to a low HIV/AIDS prevalence rate (UNAIDS/WHO, 2006). With growing numbers of infections and an increased strain on the social and economic structure due to HIV/AIDS there is a...

  • WebGD : Framework for web-based GIS/database applications

    Creator:
    Wangmutitakul, Paphun
    Abstract:
    We have developed a framework for Web-based GIS/database applications which allow users to insert, update, delete, and query data with a map interface displayed by Web browsers. The framework was designed so that a Web-based GIS application that uses ArcIMS as a map server can be easily created, customized, and...

  • Contributions to Collaborative Filtering Research

    Creator:
    Nong, Shuzhen
    Abstract:
    In this report, I first introduce three areas of interest to collaborative filtering researchers, namely: (a) how to solve the sparsity and scalability problems in recommendation systems; (b) how to rapidly develop and test collaborative filtering algorithms; and (c) how to apply collaborative filtering to unbounded numeric preference data. In...

  • A collaborative filtering algorithm and evaluation metric that accurately model the user experience

    Creator:
    McLaughlin, Matthew
    Abstract:
    "Collaborative filtering algorithms’ performances have been evaluated using a variety of metrics. These metrics, such as Mean Absolute Error and Precision, have often ignored recommendations for which they do not have data. Ignoring these recommendations has provided numbers which do not accurately represent the user experience. Qualitatively we have seen...

  • Gender differences in end-user debugging strategies

    Creator:
    Narayanan, Vaishnavi
    Abstract:
    There has been little prior research reporting strategy usage in end-user problem solving, and even less using gender as a factor. Without this type of information, enduser programming systems cannot know the “target” at which to aim, if they are to support male and female end-user programmers’ debugging. As a...

  • Understanding and supporting end-user debugging strategies

    Creator:
    Grigoreanu, Valentina I.
    Abstract:
    End users' programs are fraught with errors, costing companies millions of dollars. One reason may be that researchers and tool designers have not yet focused on end-user debugging strategies. To investigate this possibility, this dissertation presents eight empirical studies and a new strategy-based end-user debugging tool for Excel, called StratCel....
